charity_n the_o great_a inventresse_n of_o the_o world_n do_v afterward_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n in_o a_o way_n to_o effect_v it_o by_o procuration_n and_o testament_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o law_n to_o do_v it_o and_o these_o gentleman_n have_v arrive_v at_o such_o a_o perfection_n of_o charity_n that_o to_o die_v one_o for_o another_o which_o have_v be_v repute_v the_o supreme_a point_n of_o friendship_n in_o a_o mutual_a preparation_n and_o readiness_n and_o not_o in_o shadow_n but_o by_o effectual_a present_v themselves_o to_o danger_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o far_o

into_o question_n that_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o damnation_n and_o divine_a wrath_n the_o strife_n will_v be_v betwixt_o they_o which_o shall_v take_v it_o upon_o himself_o and_o preserve_v his_o friend_n in_o which_o kind_n of_o access_n i_o find_v no_o example_n in_o the_o course_n of_o history_n nor_o in_o the_o redundance_n of_o divine_a grace_n among_o mortal_a relation_n of_o such_o a_o affection_n in_o any_o kind_n except_o it_o be_v of_o those_o two_o great_a hero_n and_o divine_a man_n saint_n paul_n and_o moses_n and_o in_o a_o fable_n of_o a_o kind_n of_o dark_a

of_o virtue_n and_o make_v we_o see_v that_o a_o sole_a consent_n in_o all_o thing_n both_o divine_a and_o humane_a be_v not_o a_o bargain_n of_o wit_n alone_o as_o hitherto_o the_o world_n have_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v but_o a_o real_a work_n true_o heroical_a and_o excellent_a whereat_o love_n and_o benevolence_n can_v only_o arrive_v not_o only_o to_o be_v admire_v and_o have_v in_o

this_o city_n but_o of_o the_o whole_a state_n and_o even_o to_o stranger_n because_o in_o all_o difficult_a cause_n his_o opinion_n be_v seek_v and_o appear_v in_o all_o thing_n like_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o divine_a oracle_n and_o to_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o world_n that_o his_o answer_n how_o unpremeditate_v soever_o be_v yet_o so_o wise_a and_o solid_a to_o the_o most_o arduous_a

bless_a mouth_n of_o his_o be_v fix_v gold_n weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o more_o than_o humane_a judgement_n that_o which_o make_v he_o most_o admire_v be_v the_o couple_v together_o of_o virtue_n and_o with_o condition_n which_o be_v not_o usual_o meet_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o subject_n as_o knowledge_n and_o humility_n prudence_n with_o meekness_n retiredness_n and_o
